Voices Break the Silence may not have replied to my interview invitation (UPDATE: they did now), but Svein Egil Hatlevik of Zweizz did: [click here]
Hatlevik is known for his work with avant black-metal acts Dødheimsgard and Fleurety. Zweizz is his latest project and his new album "The yawn of the new age" will be out early next year on Vendlus.

MP3: Voices Break the Silence - The way

This week's hot tip: Voices Break the Silence. If you're at all into Convoj, The End Will Be Kicks, Seven Feet Four or any other "angular" rock acts, these guys will be right up your alley. In fact, it was Ola from Seven Feet Four who first told me about them - a day before Magnus from Chalksounds/Nomethod (the former being the label of both Convoj and TEWBK) sent me an excited IM with the same recommendation. The band remains unsigned for now, but I doubt it will take long for someone to pick them up. I know this sort of rock doesn't usually get people fired up like whatever flavor-of-the-week twee act is going 'round, but I live for this kind of stuff. It's got just the right balance of heaviness and melodicism: huge churning bass and slicing guitars. Also: I tried to interview them for this week's profile piece, but they never replied to my email. What gives? Get back to me!

Voices Break the Silence - The way

Swedish indierockers Voices Break the Silence have posted an mp3 from their brand new EP for download: http://www.vbts.se/ (under "media")
The band compares their sound to Trail of Dead, Fugazi and other likeminded rock bands.
